Saltimbocca Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Roast the Potatoes

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the fingerling potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.

2. 2

   Prepare the Broccoli Rabe

   While the potatoes are roasting, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli rabe and blanch for 2-3 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer to ice water to stop the cooking. After a few minutes, drain again and set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Veal Chops

   Place a slice of prosciutto and 2 sage leaves on each veal chop. Use toothpicks to secure them in place. Season with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   Cook the Veal Chops

   In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the veal chops and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let them rest.

5. 5

   Sauté the Broccoli Rabe

   In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Then add the blanched broccoli rabe and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes. Season with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

6. 6

   Assemble the Dish

   Serve the veal chops on a plate, topped with sautéed broccoli rabe, alongside the roasted fingerling potatoes.
